Yanarta? Eternal Flame Tour

At 4.30 pm, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Kemer and head towards the scenic town of Cirali, enjoying views of other villages such as Kuzdere, Camyuva, and Tekirova.

Once in Cirali, we'll stop at its 3-kilometer (1.8 mile) beach, where you can swim and stroll along the shore.

As the sun begins to set, we’ll ascend Mount Chimera, following a stone path. At the top of the mountain, the Yanartas fires are continuously burning, offering a captivating sight at night.

According to legend, Lycian king Iobates asked Bellerophon to kill Chimera. With assistance from Athena and Pegasus, Bellerophon trapped Chimera in the mountain, where its fire burns eternally.

The eternal fires are caused by accumulated methane that escapes through fissures, creating everlasting flames that also served as a lighthouse for sailors.

After this experience, we'll head to Ulupinar for dinner surrounded by trees and springs, consisting of a main course, salad, and seasonal fruit for dessert.

We will return to Kemer, dropping you off at your hotel around 11.30 pm, concluding the tour.
